Using softenv Files with Remote Processes
When SoftBench starts a process on a remote system, customizations to
environment variables used by SPC are evaluated in the following order:
1. The environment is modified according to the following files on the
local host:
• /opt/softbench/config/softenv
• $HOME/.softenv
• $HOME/.softenv.local-host (where local-host is the name of the
local system)
2. The environment is transferred to the remote host.
3. The environment is modified according to the following files on the
remote host:
• /opt/softbench/config/softenv
• $HOME/.softenv
• $HOME/.softenv.remote-host (where remote-host is the name of
the remote system)
4. DISPLAY is modified to point to the same display as the invoking tool.
The remote process is then run, inheriting this modified environment.
